Mon, 14 Jan 2019 13:04:15 GMTHello my name is Shanti I just wanted to say hello. I decided this month to get serious about cooking outside, and picked up a 18' WSM and 19 bags of Weber Charcoal (thanks to Home Depot's closeout price). The knowledge and sense of community on this site is incredible, and I'm really excited to be here.

Sun, 13 Jan 2019 16:44:49 GMTGreetings,

I've been a long time user of this forum and TVWBB and finally figured it was time to post up. For years I'd taken a break from forums for various reasons but have always loved this site, the knowledge, the sharing, and the "feel" of the community.

I currently have an 18" WSM, two Weber 22" kettles, and a Smokey Joe.

But I was getting a little discouraged in cooking outside by not having a gas option available. We had replaced parts on the Viking twice in the 20 years we've owned it - esentially buying the grill again because of the high price of parts. I enjoyed this grill, but couldn't justify it again.

I always felt like I was wasting charcoal if I was only cooking a few burgers or wings. I tried to recycle as much as I could but was quickly getting in a grilling rut.

Last week I received an unexpected holiday bonus at work, so we decided to buy a grill.

After looking around, I ordered a Weber Genesis II SE-410. It's a 2018 model that I bought online and got a great deal on - free freight - found a couple coupons, etc.

I already bought the Weber griddle insert already. The family has asked that we christen the new grill by making burgers. Who am I to argue?

I've already have 4 meals planned this week for the grills and smoker. Burgers, short ribs, pulled pork and hot wings.

Looking forward to getting outside and cooking more now that I've been reinvigorated!

Grill is still in great shape but gets a little TLC this spring to fix some rust spots, repaint the grill lid and cooking box, and replace some internal parts. Would love to have a new Weber, but wife says "if it still works, use it until it's a pile of rust." Shoot, with Weber grills that's not going to happen. Need some recommendations for paint for the lid/cooking box and paint to use for the frame. We grill all year unless it's too cold for the propane to flow. You name it, it gets grilled (except for eggplant). Lots and lots of beef.
Cheers!

O and my father in law said he wants to put some burgers on it🤷*♂️. I would post a pic of my smoker but I cant figure out how to do that, and besides I'm sure you've all seen one before.

I have been in the process of doing to some repairs to my :blackgenesis: Genesis EP-330 LP (purchased 2011) these past 2 weeks and some Google searches brought me to this forum. Thought I would share my experience as a way of intro.

First, I had been noticing some rust and corrosion on the back bottom inside the lid. I wrote to Weber and even though the Grill was purchased in 2011 the lid was still under warranty. They shipped out a new replacement lid right away and the replacement took about 10 minutes.

Unfortunately when replacing the lid I noticed that the small heat shield that protects the electric starter was also rusted and corroded. This part was also covered under warranty. But getting the old one off was a little difficult. As you might imagine, 7 years of grilling along exposure to hot summers and cold winters and delicious food make the screws very difficult to turn. Unfortunately, the existing screw broke and I had to cut off the entire plate around the screw before I was able to wrench it out. But once removed, the replacement piece went in very easily.

Now, I am in the midst of replacing one of the Burner Control Valves. After years of use, grease from the cooking, hot and cold weather, etc, the valve began the stick and cannot be turned easily. There is a way to lubricate the valves using brake grease (info found in one of this sites videos) but one of my valves was essentially frozen in place. This also caused one of the knobs to break when trying to turn it. These pieces are not covered under warranty any longer so I am in the midst of ordering a valve and new knobs. Getting to these valves also requires dis-assembling the front control panel and loosening the entire manifold assembly with the same issue of stuck screws.

Unfortunately, one of the screws on the side plate of the control panel broke off. I tried to use an extractor but no luck. I am heading to the local machine welding shop tomorrow to see if they can drill it out, otherwise I am looking at buying a whole new control panel.

Hopefully, once the new control valve is in place, new knobs are installed and control panel back in place I am done with grill repairs and back to grilling and BBQ. I do use my grill all winter and clear a path though the snow to the grill when needed.

I am not new to grilling, have done some BBQ and Turkey Frying but have not had too much experience smoking. So I hope to expand my BBQ skills and this forum seems like a great place for this.

Cheers and Happy New Years!

Up until now, I have only cooked on a homemade off-set smoker that was given to me over 10 years ago. The thought of not having to
work so hard to maintain temperatures and to be able to get some sleep overnight has seduced me to the black WSM.

Two weeks ago my wife said to me, she didn't know what I wanted for Christmas. I quickly without hesitation told her I wanted a WSM
22.5" smoker. She asked me if I wanted to order my own Christmas present. Such words have I been waiting to hear from her lips.

The day before Christmas she asked me if I wanted to go ahead and open/build the smoker so that it could be taken out the kitchen.
So I humbly submitted to her request, ha.

So, this weekend after Christmas I am going to break-in the smoker by cooking/smoking some ribs. I am so looking forward it.

I am now part of the WSM group, yeah.

Iíve been bbq-in most of my life, primarily on gas grills just for convenience and even heat. Sadly, most places you rent out here only allow gas grills due to fire hazards. My wife and I recently bought a home and now I have room to play in the backyard!
I still have a dyna-glo 5 burner propane grill that I use primarily. Itís just easier to fire up and cook on. The wife even uses it! But she bought me a small 14Ē Weber Smokey mountain for my bday last year and Iím hooked. Iíve smoked several briskets, ribs, chicken and sausages on it. My wsm is seasoned wonderfully with a gasket kit attached and I use igrill digital temp probes. Pretty much the most fun Iíve ever had on a grill! And yes, I love my wsm for many reasons, mostly the ease of use, set it and forget it, constant temps, and amazing bbq it produces. I also homebrew beer and cider. Cheers!
